Hi Ragen, @virginia sole-smith referred me to this article and it is extraordinarily helpful. I'm presenting at an obesity conference next week and am advocating a weight-neutral approach to address health improvement--very helpful!!!
Ragen, this is about the best thing ever. Thank you so so much! Would it be okay if I printed it to give to my GP when I have my annual in a few weeks? I'm worried about it because I've gained a good amount of weight since she saw me last year and I want to be prepared for whatever she throws at me.
I just re-read what I wrote and I like it that I used the word "good" in regard to my weight gain! The ability to see it that way to any tiny extent is all because of you and the other wonderful people doing this work.
Thanks so much Sharon, I'm so glad that this was helpful! Please feel free to print it out and use it in any way that supports you getting the care you deserve! I also have printable cards for what to say at the doctors office that might be helpful, you can find those here:
Ragen you are doing the lord's work. This is such a helpful list to have.
Thanks for including a link to Ragen's article in Burnt Toast!!!!

Thanks Barry!
This is amazing! Thank you so much for this. I can tell I will return to this list often.
Thank you for this. It's is helpful to have such tools in our fat activist belts!
